Brad's first marathon - Tokyo (February 26, 2012)

Since November 1st, 2016 projects, whose organizations are not recognized as charitable efforts in Germany or Austria, can no longer collect donations on betterplace.org. Learn more about these changes

What's it about?

Last October, I committed to run my first marathon in Tokyo on February 26, 2012.

The longest I had run previously was a 10K race 15 years ago.Since I started my formal training on October 9, 2011, I have logged 308+ miles with a longest run of 16 miles. I also completed my first half-marathon race in Macau in 1 hour and 55 minutes in December as part of my preparation.

In an effort to raise the "mental" stakes and ensure completion, I would like to ask you to consider a small donation to the Tsuagari-Nukumori Project on betterplace.org to make each stride a bit more rewarding.

Thank you in advance.

Brad

P.S. I am running as a designated Tsunagu (つなぐ) Charity donor to help promote and support the program (50% of this year's participants' contributions will be earmarked to fund projects aimed at the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake; and 50% to charities and not-for-profit organizations engaged in activities that fall under one of the five charity themes of the Tsunagu program. "Tsunagu" means "Connection" or "Solidarity" in Japanese.
